Nubbins Blast
Ft. Riley, 18-0
BY LEE HARRIS
Playing their first and last home game of the season
Nebraska's Nubbins Friday afternoon powered their way
to a decisive 18-0 victory over Ft. Riley's centaurs amid a
constant downpour that kept the footing slow and heavy
throughout the afternoon.
The first Husker score was set up by a blocked punt
that end Sophus Larsen recovered on the Soldier five with
one minute remaining in the half. After Meginnis had
failed on the right side and a pass by Hale into the end
zone had fizzled, Ray Magsamen plunged through a big
hole in the middle of the Ft. Riley line for the initial six
points of the game. The half ended with the Huskers in
command with a 6-0 lead.
W Club Gives
All-State Dinner
The University of Nebraska and
Wesleyan Athletic departments
and the Lincoln junior chamber
of commerce, sponsorers of the
eighth annual all-state high school
football rally have completed
plans for the big event, which
will be held Nov. 29.
Early response and a top-notch
program indicate that the rally
will be one of the biggest of its
kind. The affair will bring to
Lincoln the coach and two out
standing football players from
many of Nebraska's high schools.
Following registration at 9:30
a. m. at the chamber, guests will
take a tour of the Nebraska Wes
leyan campus under the direction
of Coach George "Bus" Knight.
The group will attend the Nebraska-Oregon
State football
game after which the "N" club
will be host at dinner at the
Student Union.
During the third quarter the
300 rain-soaked fans that wit
nessed the game saw Meginnis,
Scoville, DaMoude, Magsamen,
and Hale carrying the mail as
the Nubbins rolled sixty yards to
pay dirt. Meginnis scampered for
a major share of the distance on a
25-yard run end run shaking off
would-be tacklers almost at will.
DaMoude Scores.
Scoville and DaMoude cracked
the center of the Army line to
account for the rest of the dis
tance with DaMoude going over
from the three on an off tackle
play. The try for point was
fumbled. , t
The final quarter was a repition
of the third with the Nubbins ad
ding their final touchdown on a
40-yard march climaxed by Russ
Hale who dived thru the center
for the last foot. Jim Peters picked
up twenty . yards on the play be
fore on a handoff from Hale only
to be stopped a foot short of the
double white stripe.
For Ft. Riley Chuck Fusion and
Bill West werpthe constant stand
outs. Fusion lived up to expecta
tions backing up the line in good
style often stopping Husker Ball
carriers just when they seemed to
be in the clear.
Nubbins Spirit nigh.
West was the only offensive
threat that Ft. Riley could muster
doing his share of the running,
most of the passing and all of the
kicking. The Ft. Riley aggregation
lacked the fight and spirit to keep
up with the younger and more ag
grgesive Husker hopefuls.
Leading the Husker ball luggers
was the hard running Meginnis
who continually swivle-hipped his
way through the army line for
long gains. His running may be
rated along side any performance
seen on a Husker field this year,
thus offering him as a strong can
didate for a varsity beth ne'xt year.
Along with Meginnis, Hale dis
played his usual good form at
quarterback often plunging those
last two or three vital yards that
br'ng first downs.
End Harry Fox, Guard Eill
Kimball and Tackles Bob Farner
and Bob Harrington turned in
strong line oerformances.
For the Nubbins crew the Ft.
Riley game was the final of the
season as no other games have
been scheduled for this year.
Many of th B team boys promise
to offer stiff competition for the
varsifv boys come next year.

BY RALPH STEWART
(Spuria Editor, The Daily Nebraxkita)
Grand Island's touted football jaungernaut lived up to
advance publicity Saturday afternoon as they rolled over
the Lincoln high grid machine 25-14 on Nebraska's Mem
orial Stadium turf.
Over 15,000 fans watched the. two high school clubs
battle in what was termed as the state mythical high school
championship contest. ' 1 '
And as the spectators filed from Memorial Stadium
there was no doubt concerning the superority of Coach
Jerry Lee's smooth-functioning machine.
Paced by Halfback Bob Reyn
olds and Fullback Bill Noble, the
Islanders rolled up 18 first downs
while the Links were picking up
10. Although trailing 7-6 at the
half, Grand Island outdowned the
Links 12-4.,
Scorless First Period
After batthng to a scoreless
first period Grand Island hit pay
dirt when Noble powered his way
over from the one yard line to
climax a 33-yard march up field.
An attempted pass for the point
was incomplete.
Lincoln bounced back into the
game midway in the second can
to with a pair of long passes put
ting them into scoring position.
Bill Howell . passed to End Ed
Weir, jr., for the extra point as
Big John Moore rammed over and
Coach Bill Pfieffs boys took a
temporary lead.
Grand Island roared back in the
third canto with Noble galloping
19 yards through the middle of
the Lincoln line after Reynolds
helped advance the ball from the
Islanders own 33. A pass from
Reynolds to Co-Captain Dale Toft
netted the extra point.
Moore Tallies.
Big Bob Mockett, burley Links
tackle wearing a cast to protect
a broken hand, blocked a G. I.
punt and Weir recovered on the
Islanders 22. A screen pass to
Moore carried to the 12 from
where Moore counted after two
line smashes. The hefty fullback
pounded over center for the ex
tra point to again put the Links
ahead.
But the lead held for only five
plays. The Grand Island power
house unleashed a deadly ground
game to roll from their own 20
to score in just five plays from
scrimmage".
Tackle R. Clark set up the final
G. I. tally by recovering Stan Ger
lach's fumble on the Links 19.
Noble and Quarterback Bob Hann
collaborated with the ball toting
chores with Hann sneaking over
from the one.
Perfect Team Play.
Considering the point of a per
fectly functioning team, Grand Is
land turned in one of the best
played games witnessed on the
Memorial Stadium grounds this
year. Perfect blocking on end
sweeps helped shake the speedy
Reynolds and Noble loose for sub
stantial gains again and again.
Lincoln, battling for the top
high school honors, went down in
defeat with one of its top per
formances of the season. Backs
Howell, Howard Cook, Moore and
Gerlach starred for the Links
while Mockett, Weir and John
Reigert paced the forwards.
A tower of strength in the G. I.
forward wall was Toft, along with
Center Howard Jelinek. Reynolds
and Noble shared offensive hon
ors for Grand Island with Hann
and Lowell Hayman.
